A combination of 'misleading' and 'infor= mation'. Here are a few examples and I am sure I missed a lot of others but= its difficult for me to keep a track of everything: 1) Sapio is open source and everything mentioned in tweet is false: https:/= /web.archive.org/web/20220503050140/https://twitter.com/coinableS/status/15= 21354192434073602 2) Personal attacks on author of BIP 119 with false information: https://ni= tter.net/s3cp256k1/status/1521238634111770624 3) Andreas Antonopoulos shared false things about CTV and explained by Ryan= in this email: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/202= 2-May/020414.html 4) Misleading things shared in these emails by Michael Folkson: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2022-January/01= 9728.html https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2022-April/0202= 35.html https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2022-April/0202= 86.html https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2022-April/0203= 43.html https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2022-April/0203= 86.html 5) Peter Todd and Zac shared misleading things about BIP 119, bitcoin and L= 2. I replied in this email: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bit= coin-dev/2022-April/020322.html 6) Social media influencers like Peter McCormack tweeted they don't underst= and BIP 119 but its an attack (this was even retweeted by developers like P= eter Todd): https://nitter.net/PeterMcCormack/status/1521253840963653632 7) Some misconceptions about BIP 119 cleared by Bitcoin Magazine: https://b= itcoinmagazine.com/technical/what-is-bip-119-bitcoin-controversy-explained 8) There were lies and misinformation about BIP 119 on social media accordi= ng to this Bitcoin Magazine article: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/= analyzing-bip119-and-the-controversy-surrounding-it 9) John Carvalho tweeting false things: https://nitter.net/BitcoinErrorLog/status/1468599535538745359 https://nitter.net/BitcoinErrorLog/status/1522652884218822658 https://nitter.net/BitcoinErrorLog/status/1442554615967354880 https://nitter.net/search?q=3DMIT%20(from%3ABitcoinErrorLog) 10) Greg Maxwell responding to misinformation related to BIP 119 but adding= false things in the comments: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ui= m560/bip_119/i7dhfpb/ I am not surprised by your email but it would be better if the people who a= re interested in reviewing BIP 119 could raise the bar and not share mislea= ding information. /dev/fd0 Sent with Proton Mail secure email. ------- Original Message ------- On Sunday, June 5th, 2022 at 12:12 AM, Jorge Tim=C3=B3n = wrote: > "Some people say CTV is contentious, but they're spreading misinformation= "?

Covenants implemented in Bitcoi= n before the next cycle would provide opportunity for developers to build i= nteresting things during the bear market. Ossification supporters also beli= eve there is some window that will close soon, maybe doing changes consider= ing each case individually will be a better approach. CTV is not a rushed s= oft fork, less people followed the research and it was not mentioned on soc= ial media repeatedly by the respected developers like other soft forks. > > > > /dev/fd0 > > > > > > Sent with Proton Mail secure email. > > _______________________________________________ > > bitcoin-dev mailing list > > bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org > > https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
